Premier Wynne Receptive to Dedicated Marijuana Stores

It may not even be sold out of the LCBO. Because I’ve had people say to me we don’t want to have marijuana and alcohol sold out of the same places.” – Kathleen Wynne

Wynne, who has officials from 12 provincial departments working on Ontario’s weed strategy, said she is eager to learn the views of other premiers as they gear up for that. While marijuana is not on the meeting’s formal agenda, the premier said there will be “opportunities for us in casual conversation.” “I’ll certainly be saying, ‘How are you guys dealing with this? You know what I’m saying; what are you saying?’ I will be stunned if they say they are not being asked about (it),” she said, noting her colleagues across the country “all have different regimes around alcohol.”

On the subject of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, Wynne clarified what she has been saying about the provincial booze monopoly’s involvement in the recreational marijuana market. “It may not even be sold out of the LCBO. Because I’ve had people say to me we don’t want to have marijuana and alcohol sold out of the same places,” she said, emphasizing she envisions the agency’s cannabis role being in “regulation and distribution and monitoring it in some way.”
